If you'd like to meet Birdie, we ask that you visit our website to review our adoption process and requirements, and to schedule an on-site appointment. Walk-in hours are also available should that be more convenient. (Please read Birdie's full profile before coming to meet her.) www.ggohinc.com
Birdie has a bit of a complicated story - well maybe not complicated, but one that you need to be aware of before proceeding with any inquiry. Birdie had a home - she had been adopted. (Her history prior to adoption is unknown by us as the rescue organization who initially had her is no longer in operation.) Birdie snuck out of the house, was trapped, and brought back to her adopter. While she was roaming about, her adopter had gone out and gotten another kitten. Birdie escaped again, then trapped again, but this time the adopter did not want her back. We can make some assumptions here but that isn't always the best thing to do so instead, we are just going to state what facts we know, look for the best home for her, and be up-front with any potential adopter about some "possibilities". It's possible that Birdie did not like her new home - could be any number of reasons for that. It's possible Birdie did not like her new owner. It's possible Birdie wasn't a fan of the new kitten. It's possible Birdie didn't really sneak out. It's possible Birdie likes being outside (and if so, there are ways to allow her to do that safely).
Birdie's Maine Coon breed will surely generate a lot of attention for her but we are going to be very cautious and advocate for the best possible home for her so that all those possibilities are less likely to become realities. We want to ensure that Birdie goes to a home where she will feel safe, loved, and cared for in all the right ways. So please, take all of Birdie's story into account before inquiring about her. We are Birdie's interim caretakers and we are going to see to it that this time, she ends up in her new home forever - and ever!
Birdie has been taking her time adapting to her new surroundings and we expect that of wherever she lands this time as well, so please be aware of that, too. She's a sweet gal, but it may take a bit for her to trust you. Patience is the key word here - patience and lots and lots of love. She is okay with other cats/kittens - dogs are unknown. Due to her potential to escape if not careful with open doors, we are advising no young children.
Birdie is going to be a fabulous companion so don't let us scare you away from meeting her - all we ask is that you consider the possibilities.
Birdie has an approx. DOB of 3/29/2022.

More about this rescue
Established in 2003, we are a no-kill rescue/re-home program that takes in abandoned, homeless and unwanted animals. We work tirelessly to find new, permanent homes for our rescues. Our program's Director began this journey when our county's humane society was closed down.
A note from our Director:
"I have been a lifelong rescuer; all of my pets (currently, 10 dogs and 5 cats) are rescue animals. They mean the world to me and I want to help as many animals as I can while I am on this earth. Back in 2003, I gathered together many animal lovers in the area and we started our rescue efforts; we've continued to grow over time and are now operating as a 501c3 organization, which has helped us strengthen our efforts to save the animals. We want to see that no animal goes without love, shelter, food or a happy life. We work on educating the public about the overpopulation problem, we promote spay/neuter programs, and we do group tours at our facility to teach about the rescue re-home world. To get our youth community involved, we visit schools to teach about responsible pet ownership, animal abuse and neglect, and what they as an animal advocate can do to help prevent these tragedies. We are proud of what we do here at our rescue and we believe it is our job to protect those that speak another language and quite honestly, we just could not imagine a world without them. I invite you to join our efforts by becoming a sustainable monthly donor, a volunteer with our program or, simply to be another voice for the animals. Contact us today to find out how you can help."
